Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe the Senate Majority Leader is taking note of that. In addition to that and with the indulgence of the questioner, we would want the House to be told who the lessor of this equipment is. We know the lessees are then county governments. If it is a company, where is it incorporated? If it is offshore, which country and who the directors are and their details?
